Both privacy and child safety experts agree that device-based restrictions are the most effective way of keeping kids from seeing porn. And your phone, tablet and computer already have the age-information (and technology) to do block it.

So why are Apple, Google and Microsoft so resistant?
What would ethical age verification look like online?
Current laws are raising alarm bells, but there's a better solution out there.

Alabama officials cut off funding for a public library that refused to bar access to the "The Handmaid's Tale" and other books they deemed sexually explicit to anyone under 18.

Thankfully, @everylibrary.bsky.social has stepped up to provide funding to allow the library to remain open for now.

Porn was only ever the cover.

In half the country, these laws now effectively mandate facial scans to access any material deemed "harmful to minors" by the state attorney general or a conservative parent.

What they passed is much, much broader than people generally realized.
Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn
Missouri’s age verification law, enacted on November 30, is the halfway mark for the sweep of age verification laws across the country.

The religious right’s “porn is a public health crisis” campaign has exploited this media weakness for years, using faith-based pseudoscientific claims to manufacture consent for censorship, surveillance and sexual repression.

They said they were banning "pornography." Now they're banning books about cats and dogs. At PEN America, we're fighting back. With your help this #GivingTuesday, we'll keep challenging the censors and fighting to keep books where they belong: in the hands of students. Donate now at: pen.org/GT25BS
Graphic displaying two books titled "The Complete Book of Cats" and "The Complete Book of Dogs" with the word "BANNED" across them. Text reads "THEY'RE BANNING THE PETS?!" and mentions Monroe County, Tennessee. Logo for PEN America and a call to action at pen.org/donate

"Worryingly, this area of common cause now appears to be growing. We at GAATW have noticed that many organisations from both camps have recently expanded their use of anti-trafficking frameworks to also advocate for the abolition of surrogacy and promote transphobic ideas."
cfpdx.bsky.social Carol Fenton @cfpdx.bsky.social · 11d
GAATW warns that some groups are now using anti-trafficking rhetoric to push bans on surrogacy and spread transphobic agendas.

(For example: The NGO who made the recent Epstein PSA is anti-surrogacy). www.opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-tr...
